not a bad model, but two complaints: wheels look absurdly big on the model.... and the carbon roof is missing (stock GTS have the carbon finish roofs)
Carbon roof easy fix. Scale Motorsports sells carbon decals.

The panel gap for the hood and body looks pretty wide (Photo illusion?)

As for the wheels they do look oversized, but this could be an illusion.

From this angle on the real car they look big.



But on the side profile view they look normal.



Still a nice looking model.

How is the interior and engine detail?

Thanks for posting the pics!

TT-02 chassis for the NSX and Tamiya released a Civic EG6 body that fits the same chassis.



4wd Civic!

Anyone here on the forum into RC Cars? There is a club that races in Richmond - Over Geared Racing. Check them out.

Thanks

I live my life a quarter mile at a time, nothing else matters....

HI Everyone,

I would like to post a pretty cool 1/43 diecast set from Greenlight. Those not familiar with Greenlight, they produce 1/64, 1/43 and 1/18 diecast cars. The detail is pretty good for what you pay. You can find most of their stuff at Walmart, Toys R Us and other toy stores. Greenlight is also popular for producing movie themed cars ie: The Winnebago from Braking Bad, Steve McQueen's Mustang Fastback from Bullitt. But their most popular line are their 1/43 cars from the Fast and the Furious franchise. Here is a list of cars from the series

I would like to share with you guys a cool set which I got last year. This set depicts the famous Charger vs Supra scene from the first Fast and the Furious (2001) movie. Unfortunately, Greenlight does not make this set no more. Although, you can always find one on eBay for around $45.00 USD or head over to Universal Studios souvenir shop to get one (from what I heard).

Since then, Greenlight has released about four race scene sets based on the movies. But this one is my favorite.

Enjoy the pics!

Greenlight Packaging






Without display case













Some might say that it kinda toy like, but I think its looks cool. And besides who doesn't like the Mk4 Supra.

Anyhow, after watching and following the Fast and Furious franchise, I started to like classic American Muscle cars. or at least have an appreciation for them.

You comments are welcome.

Thanks

William

GT Spirit 1/18 911 Black Edition - Back in Black

Hi Everyone,

Here is my very low number GT Spirit 911 Black Edition. The low number is the reason I kept it, and plus the 911 looks really cool in Black,

For those who don't know what is the 911 Black Edition, it is basically Black inside and out. It is just your standard 911 with a few exclusive bits and a ton features at a fraction of the price, if you selected them manually at the dealership. So if you live in a place where the sun always shine, I don't think the "Black Edition" is Porsche you would like to buy.

GT Spirit released this car back in February 2016 and produced only 1000 pieces. When I received this car from GT Spirit, the first thing I really noticed was the deep Black paint job. It looks really gorgeous. The black edition 911, is the girl you want to bring to the prom with you. The low number is a bonus. Car 0009/1000.

I hope you enjoy the pics! Comments are welcomed.















Thank you for viewing!

William

Photo dump

Ordered a Lancia 037 close to two years ago from Wilkinsons.... decides to show up in thin air. An updated version of the Old Kyosho release






Also picked up the following

Air Italia Colors Lancia Stratos






Road ver. lancia Stratos and Ford Escort 1600!






Norev's surprisingly very nicely made Porsche 962C.



the exterior detail is exceptional and the proportion of that 962C looks super accurate.





Dealer ed 919 hybrid 2015 LM winner and 991 GT3 cup. very nice models.


Buddy picked up an SLS dealer ed for my Bday too!





these diecast models have came a long long way.... the scaling and detailing are now just superb.

@ Tofu,

Did apply the decals to the Norev Porsche? I didn't know it came with the car.

@ Granemo

That NSX looks sweet! Any engine detail?

Thank you for sharing the photos guys!

Finally got one of these Hakosuka Skyline GT-R's in 1/18 from auto art.



"tuned" version - aero is a tad different, different exhaust, seats and the lovely Watanabe wheels. Perfection.
